In the hills and ravines, the Red Tiger soldiers were resting, gulping water.

Under the scorching sun, the mounds in the distance seemed to be exuding heat, and they were in a trance.

Zhao Xifeng's mood was a little heavy, all the way, it was all bad news, just met the clansmen who fled eastward, saying that Shiqian Village had been broken and burned by the main department of Luo Shi Ghost Ghost, and the clansmen who were not killed were all taken captive.

That is the fundamental place of their own tribe, when the former Tang Dynasty placed the state of confinement, Shiqian Village was the seat of the state of Chongzhou.

Now it is destroyed, and I have lost my home.

For a moment, I felt like a wandering ghost.

Zhao Xifeng looked at these Qi soldiers again, these soldiers, each of them had water bladders, and they all carried a few days' spare dry food with them, so that they would get lost, and they would not be hungry for the time being.

Moreover, their leather armor, rattan cards, and Hansensen javelins all show that this is a well-equipped soldier in the army of the Central Plains Dynasty.

There are also hundreds of ironclad soldiers, all of whom are tall, and although those armors are not draped but carried on their backs, it can be seen that the thickness and brightness of the ironclad are obviously a pair of good armor.

There were also a few blacksmiths, carrying a strange tool that could be quickly repaired after the weapon was curled.

Seeing this, Zhao Xifeng felt a little relieved.

After all, since they were well-equipped elite soldiers, there was no reason for the Qi people to send them to death in vain.

Listening to the meaning of the General Academy, it is also necessary to find a place to settle down as a stronghold.

It seems that the General Institute of Literature is very good at using troops, with this elite vanguard into Qiandi, it does not need much baggage, after choosing a Dazhai as a stronghold, the military and backup can enter one after another, Luo Shi ghosts, if you want to attack, it will be difficult.

Zhao Xifeng naturally didn't know that the General Academy of Literature had never thought of asking for reinforcements and military supplies at all, so he had to rely on these 1,500 people to have a good fight with the Luo Shi Ghost Department in this evil land.

Zhao Xifeng, thinking about the stronghold again, originally, the best location to resist the stronghold of Luo Shi Ghost is, of course, Shiqian Village, as a foothold for the Qi people, and at the same time can protect their own people.

But I don't want to, Shiqian Village has been lost.

"General Hospital, let's go north and go to Laozhai!" Zhao Xifeng weighed it and put forward a second suggestion.

The four-headed tiger lying at Professor Wen's feet seemed to be psychic, and although they looked around vigilantly, the people who were often close to Professor Wen did not show hostility.

Zhao Xifeng was afraid of these four tigers, but he also dared to come to Lu Ning's side to speak.

Lu Ning pondered for a while and nodded.

The situation in Chongzhou was clearly explained by Liu Boshi, Zhao Xifeng and some of the Chongzhou natives who fled to the award state.

Chongzhou is scattered, and even three or five households, more than ten households can form a village, but there are still a few main earthen villages, the largest is naturally Shiqian Village, and the second largest is this old village.

Laozhai is said to be the birthplace of Chongzhou Barbarian Mother Village, the birthplace of Shiqian Village, the first largest village, but the result of expansion to the southwest.

The old village is in the three valleys, that is, the area of Fanjing Mountain in later generations.

However, from Xiangzhou to Shiqian Village, in fact, it has been to the west, but more than 200 miles, and now it is more than 100 miles away from Shiqian Village.

If you want to go to Laozhai, you have to go north, and it is nearly a hundred miles away.

If he had followed his previous temper, Lu Ning would want to kill Shiqian Village directly.

But in this barbaric land, the lone army is deep, Lu Ning thought about it, it was safer, and nodded: "Okay, then go north and go to Laozhai." ”

……

The march was hurried, and in the middle of the night, it was only more than 20 miles away from the village, but the soldiers were already exhausted.

There happened to be a hill with dangerous terrain, so Lu Ning ordered the soldiers to rest here, and ordered the baggage team composed of the soil regiment led by Tian Hanquan to unload the tents, wooden fences and other things on the vehicles and set up camp here.

He took Zhu Mao and Zhao Xifeng to Laozhai.

The three valleys, the lush forests, the waterfalls and the clear springs, in the moonlight, are even more wonderful.

Walking to the foot of Laozhai Mountain, Lu Ning made a gesture to Zhu Mao and pointed to a hill forest, and Zhu Mao understood and lurked in the small forest.

In case there was any danger, Lu Ning didn't want Zhu Mao to be shot into a hedgehog by bone spears and earth arrows in the earthen village.

"I don't know what your people think now, the head of the old village is not your relatives, right? Don't say that the Qi army is coming, enter the village to see the situation first, and say that there is an envoy from the Qi country who is here to help you and Luo Shi Ghost Department resolve disputes. ”

Lu Ning's words, Zhao Xifeng naturally has no objections, the head of the old village, the Hubaz family, has a competitive relationship with the Zhao family, and once competed with the Zhao family for the position of the assassin of Chongzhou, the state of shackles, and now the foundation of the Zhao family, Shiqian Village, was captured by the ghost department, and it is difficult to say what Hubaz's attitude is.

However, I heard from the fleeing clansmen that Shiqian Village was breached, and Princess Luodian, the big ghost lord who came to take refuge, fled to Lao Zhai, and I don't know what happened.

This former big ghost lord Luo Dian's princess has a noble blood, and soon after being married as a princess by the former big ghost lord Luo Dian, the big ghost lord was killed by his subordinates, and Princess Luo Dian fled to Chongzhou for refuge.

The princess of the big ghost lord Luo Dian, is a descendant of the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom, and it is rumored that she is the last prince of Nanzhao Kingdom who fled to Qiandi and was born to a barbarian girl in Qiandi.

And the Southern Zhao Kingdom, however, used the mountains and mountains to make the Tang Dynasty suffer a big loss, and the western part of Qiandi was once under its rule.

In the eyes of the barbarians of Qiandi, this princess has an extremely noble bloodline.

The elders of those uncles and uncles in their own clan, who were fascinated by their minds, persuaded the departments of Chongzhou to respect this princess as the female head of each department, originally thought that with the help of the identity of this Nanzhao princess, she could get the canonization of the Central Plains, just as the Central Plains had canonized the king of Yunnan, if you can canonize the princess of Luodian as the king of Chongzhou, in the future, the departments of Chongzhou will naturally rise, after this princess of Luodian, the name of the king of Chongzhou will not be inherited by the Zhao family?

But I didn't want to, Luo Shi's ghost department went against the norm and invaded the east of the Wujiang River, which was unprecedented.

The elders of his own family can really say that stealing chickens is not a waste of rice.

Hubaz of Laozhai recognized Princess Luodian as the head of the women of various ministries at that time, but now, I don't know what Hubaz thinks?

Zhao Xifeng, a beautiful shadow appeared in his mind, and his heart was immediately hot, but then he shook his head, not daring to think about it, she was high, he could see her from afar, and he was satisfied knowing that she was safe.

"Lord Headquarters, waiting here?" Zhao Xifeng asked.

Lu Ning smiled, "You don't have to pay attention to me, I will naturally show up when it's time to show up." ”

Zhao Xifeng was a little puzzled, but he didn't say much, bowed down and said, "Okay, I'll go to the old village to find out the news." ”

……

On the hills, from low to high, the rows of wooden houses in the old village are distinct, and the villagers live extremely densely.

Sneaking into the inner village from the outer village, but not wanting to, there are many sentinels swimming in the inner village, and several of the tallest corner towers are lit up, obviously the situation is delicate recently, and the defense in the old village is also doubly strict.

Lu Ning knocked down a sentry, dragged him into the bushes, changed into his clothes, and tied him up and gaged him, so that he woke up and couldn't shout for a while.

Then, Lu Ning dodged the sentries and walked in the direction of several of the tallest corner towers.
